Chef's Note

It was traditional in northern France to grease the pans with a piece of fresh pork rind.

Ingredients

- 250 g (9 oz.) de farine

- 3 eggs

- 60 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar

- 500 ml (2 cups) blond beer or pale ale

- A pinch of salt

- A little rum

- 80 g (5 tbsp.) butter

- Brown sugar, blackberry jam, red currant jelly, honey, etc.

Method

Place the flour, eggs, sugar, salt, a little beer and the rum into a bowl; whisk together until very smooth;
add the remaining beer to make a creamy mixture, as well as a knob of butter, melted, and let rest so the beer ferments the batter slightly.
In a skillet, heat some butter; pour in a spoonful of the batter to make a pancake just thick enough to be sautéed;
garnish as desired with honey, red currant jelly, blackberry jam… or just sprinkle with brown sugar.
